Ariana Grande has teased what fans can expect in the second part of the hit musical movie Wicked.

The musical film is set to have its second installment on November 21 with Wicked: For Good.

"I think, you know these women (Elphaba and Galinda) have so much in them and there's a lot that happens to them. And you just get to know them at very new depths," Ariana shared on what fans can look forward to in the second part of the movie in an interview in BBC's The Arts Hour.

Ariana remarked she is particularly ecstatic for the audience to witness the emotional arc of her character.

"Galinda's arc in particular, I am very excited for people to see just because I really, really love her. And I think you get to see many examples of strength and forgiveness, and love, and again holding up that mirror and truly becoming good. That's what I'm most excited about is for people to see the emotional arc," she remarked.

The actress also shared that fans can expect "so many amazing prosthetics" in the second Wicked movie.

"The prosthetics team and the hair and makeup team are just extraordinary. I can't wait for you to see their work on what happens to things later. It's just extraordinary," she said.

Ariana recently bagged her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Wicked.

The actress recently took to social media to pen a heartfelt post following her nomination.

"Picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition. I cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise," she said in an Instagram post.


She remarked that she is humbled and deeply honored "to be in such brilliant company." She then dedicated the achievement to her younger self, saying: "Sharing this with tiny Ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' just before the big, beautiful bubble entered. I’m so proud of you, tiny. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for this acknowledgement @theacademy."

Wicked received 10 nominations for this year's Oscars.

"This story, even though it takes place far away from the reality of German daily life, still moved the audience here. That’s how impactful and relevant it is. This movie is special 💕," another fan wrote.

As per previous press release, Generation 14plus is a program in Berlinale that features the stories of children and teenagers. "Also known as 'coming-of-age,' the stories feature perspectives from young protagonists from around the world, highlighting the equally complex worlds of the youth."

Sunshine had a sold-out Berlinale premiere.

"Director Antoinette Jadaone, along with Actor Elijah Canlas and the team of SUNSHINE attend the film's packed screening at a 1000-pax theater! 🙏 They also held an engaging Q&A after more than a minute of applause at the end of the film. SUNSHINE is competing at this year's Berlinale under the Generation 14 category! 🤸‍♀️"Project 8 Projects previously shared. 

In an interview with ABS-CBN News prior to her departure to Germany for Berlinale, lead star Maris Racal remarked that it has always been her dream to attend an international film festival.

"Matagal ko ‘tong hinintay na maka-attend sa isang prestigious film festival like Berlinale. I’m also very happy to announce din that Sunshine will be in competition under the Generation 14 plus category which tackles stories about children, teenagers," she remarked.

The actress went on: "Super happy kami kasi it’s only one of the two films in competition, it’s a huge thing for us."

Maris remarked that she is looking forward to knowing the reception of the European audience.

"I’m excited ‘cause I’m curious paano nila i-a-accept itong story. I’m sure they will be open minded naman about the story," she said.

The actress added: "I’m just going to be there, be present. Be a sponge there, absorbing everything. I know this will open a lot of new perspective for me, and hopefully a lot of doors too."

Sunshine follows the story of "a young gymnast who discovers she is pregnant on the week of the national team tryouts. On her way to a seller of illegal abortion drugs, she meets a mysterious girl who eerily talks and thinks like her," as per its IMDb.
